Need a Door Closer to work with my door

A quick learner from Melbourne FL says:
Hello,
Our screen door does not align with the aluminum so the generic door closers will not work as the tube would have to be at an angle. See attached photo.

As you can see in the photo our old closer was connected to the aluminum in two places. The new bracket mounted where it is does not allow the door to open. It will not fit on the inside of the aluminum as you can see.

Do you have one that would work for us? It is a very light screen door.
Thank you in advance.

Looking at your photo, I can see that your side door jamb is not wide enough to mount your existing bracket. You would need to install a block of wood at the area to make the jamb wider to fit your bracket. Look at our related video on the right side of this page, this may offer some insight into how this hardware works.
